LIMITING THE BAGGAGE
a" Ofder Issued by the Mana~em.p, n,
the Maine Central.

AN order has recently been issued nv the
management of the Maine Central railroad
oifecting baggage masters to charge reoula,
rates Tor all excess baggage.
This touches the pocketbook. of tho cor.
merciai travellers and may possibly interest
the throng OF seaside housekeepers who an.
nually carry large amounts of baggage to tho
sea-shore
Following is the order as received nv tho
baggage masters:
AT the recent meeting of the New ENGLAND
ranroao managers in Boston, to ipterpret the
inter state commerce law. it was decided tb,,
10. inc sake of uniformity, certain features
leiative to inter State business ought to annlv
~ local state tariff. The granting of exces.
baggage permits by interstate roads being
clearly discrimination, it has been necessary
ior such roads to withdraw them. This be-
ing the case with our most intimate and
immediate connections, it does not appear
proper that this company should continue
!heir use. Therefore, on and after April
IN 1851 all excess-baggage permits win be
cancelled. and will not be honored bv Won
afer that date, and regular rates should
thereafter be collected for all baggage in all
classes eft travel, in excess of $50 lbs 10 each
full ticket and IS lbs. to each half tickat y
Inc working of this rule can be plainly
perceived An addendum to the order states
that rule 40 providing for the issue of .pe.
c'ai excess-oaggage permitsl is also revoked.
